Ahh, but Leonard - you missed the point. I never said it did not belong on
Lugnet, and I never said it did not belong in .people - did I?

I think you are also missing the entire point of Lugnet and posting messages to
Lugnet -- Lugnet it is for discussion, and you post messages to start a
discussion!

Shame you think that Leonard - I am not in any way trying ot do what you are
attemptint ot twist my intentions into.
Yes, these posts are off-topic (meaning not about Lego). And yes, Adrian's birth
announcment post - as great as the news is.. is not about Lego. And thus, should
be in off-topic. BUT his post was in the correct sub-set (.people) but you see
Leonard, my point (that you missed) is that the .people group should be in
off-topic.
> the online LEGO Community? OF COURSE IT IS!!
Glad that point did not escape you ;) Now, is Todd searching for a soul mate
about Lego? OF COURSE IT IS NOT!! (to borrow your all caps). And where does
non-Lego talk go? IN OFF-TOPIC!! (again, using your all caps).
